About the Item

Artist Commentary: This piece is an exploration of the concept of "the dark web". I envisioned a constant flow of binary numbers endlessly moving towards an unknown destination. The colored segments represented by tiles or stripes are present and visible and symbolize the myriad websites with which we all interact. However, there's a parallel "universe" hiding in the background represented by hard to see segments that are all in black and visible only when reflected in the background. Keywords: painting, modern, contemporary, leather, steel, wire, cable, abstract, wood, weaving, tile, mixed media Artist Biography: I was born in Mexico City in 1957 and moved to Los Angeles in 1984. I'm told that when I was just born and laying in one of those bassinets in the hospital, my paternal grandparents came to see me and while looking through the window into the baby ward, my grandfather said to my dad: "give him a pen, he wants to write." In a way, my grandfather was right. I needed a pen indeed, but not really to write, but to draw. One of my earliest memories of connecting with the art world (around age four or five) is sitting in a corner in my mom's art class with a bunch of colored chalk just scribbling away. From then on, I traded the chalk for anything that could make a mark on a surface. I have filled scrapbooks with notes and ideas, have studied art history, and relish every opportunity to see and learn what other artists are doing. As a teenager I started taking photographs and used them as inspiration for drawings, paintings, and mixed media works. For the last 50 years I have dedicated myself to a process of exploration and discovery, and it has been an enriching and rewarding experience.
